Romantic Getaway with a jon boat, Kayaks, and three miles to the beach

This cozy cottage with amazing reading retreat is perfect for the adventurer at heart. Waterfront with 2 kayaks and a small boat with oars (trolling motor and battery for rent). 3 miles to the Beach. We catch flounder, drum, crabs, etc from the backyard. Use the kayak or boat to explore a sand bar or just float around the Marsh. The location is amazing! Steps from the water. Our home is on a busy road so there will be some road noise, we proved sound machines if needed.
Small Fishing Cottage, two bedrooms, one bathroom. Great location if you like the water. Once you enter the home and especially the backyard you feel like you are in total peace. All rooms have smart tvs, that have Netflix, Disney, and Hulu already installed and ready to use. Full size kitchen with all the cooking utensils and pans you would have in your own home to cook that family meal or to prepare the fish you catch from the backyard.

The entire home is for your enjoyment.
You only have one neighbor next to you, I own that home as well and it is a short term rental. There is a large 8-9 foot privacy fence that separates the back yards so you won`t even see the neighbors.

If you like the water, or need to relax, then this is the place for you.
Please put Kayaks and paddles away after use and please tie them up.
Please tie the boat back up so it won`t float away at high tide.

The most charming and cozy cottage right on the river with beautiful sunrises! The host communicated frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. The coffee nook was an added bonus. It was in a perfect spot to travel to Emerald Isle or to enjoy downtown Swansboro.

The house was very nice and the price was the best option I found for my family. The host was very understanding of my change of plans due to weather. The house is on a main road and can be noisy but feels very private. Close to food and activities. My husband and I agree we would return again. I also would argue our pup loved it too. Our only complaint was not being able to stay longer.

Beautiful home! Very clean, everything I needed. Cozy feel. The best part is the deck right on the water. Spectacular views of the moon shining right on the water. Very peaceful sitting there in the morning with my cup of coffee. The hosts were wonderful and so gracious. The only thing i gave less than 5 stars was the location right on a main, busy road. But once inside you dont even know its there. All your concentration is on the back deck. I had my pups with me and they enjoyed themselves as well. I will definitely be back and booking with these owners.

Great location if you are interested in kayak fishing. For the cost and location, it is definitely good. The interior is a mix, there are some very modern features buts the floor was fairly damaged and there was a slight plumbing issue. Overall, would recommend it if your focus is on fishing or access to the water.

Family Vacation

The access to the water and the views were phenomenal. We loved fishing off of the dock and having our morning coffee in the cozy sunroom that overlooked the waters. The host was very attentive and easy to communicate with. He went above and beyond. It was our very first time using VRBO and we will be using this host again for our next family vacation!

The manager of this property is very kind and quick to respond. The cottage is overall very cute and clean. The traffic can be pretty bothersome, I know some of the semis that went by SLIGHTLY rattled the bedroom walls. The kayaks and jon boat is a lovely touch. We took them out morning/night and it proved to be extremely relaxing. There’s lots of quick dining options and grocery stores less than 10 minutes away. Truly the only negatives about the property were the noisiness of the road, some minor cleaning issues, the washer and dryer didn’t work and the water pressure in the kitchen was only a trickle. For everything you get out of this cute little cottage, I’d consider it a win. We were very happy with our stay and should we find ourselves in the area again, would definitely rent it again.

It was a fun experience to stay in such a unique spot. My teen and I enjoyed the kayaks at sunset. And waking up to that view was lovely. Our hosts had a lot of nice touches with the coffee station, snacks and nice bath products. (And while the location is a little unusual, road traffic wasn’t really too bad with the air conditioning on.) it was really cool to stay right on the water in a former fishing cabin, while still being easily able to explore Swansboro, Cedar Point and Emerald Isle.

Cozy spot with easy access to water and Swansboro

Our family really enjoyed our stay at this little house on the water. The kayak was a hit with our little ones who also loved to watch the crabs scurry. Swansboro, with cute restaurants and shops, is only minutes down the main road on which the house sits. Would definitely recommend!

This little cottage was the best stay for our little family of 3. The toys in the house were a perfect addition for our 6 year old. The kayaks were amazing, we used them everyday! We were very sad to leave.

Not ideal

This appears from photos as a 3 bed accommodation. It is not. There is a small, foldable cot for a third bed, but did not feel suitable for use. The location is great out the back, but the front is right up to a busy 5 lane road. It might be a good spot for some but was not great for our research team.

Comfortable and convenient

We enjoyed our stay. The owners were easily accessible for any issues.The back yard area is nice as it is very scenic, peaceful and private (there are neighbors next door, but separated by a high fence). Great place for the dog, and we loved throwing the net out for bait fish.It is convenient to everything.

Amazing place!

This property was wonderful. It was clean and quaint. The hosts were awesome and easy to reach when needed. Due to the weather we were not able to take out the john boat or kayaks, but we will have to do so the next time we come. The cottage was perfect and in a great location, close to multiple things to do and see. The trip was awesome. Thank you
